Prenatal Yoga

What is Prenatal Yoga?

Prenatal yoga uses an array of relaxation techniques, gentle yoga postures and dynamic breathwork to keep women’s bodies strong, open and practicing yoga as they prepare for the birth of their little one. Practicing prenatal yoga is a wonderful way for pregnant yogis to maintain strength and flexibility throughout pregnancy, improve balance and mobility, and increase overall energy levels and blood flow.

According to the American Pregnancy Association, benefits of prenatal yoga include:

Improved sleep

Reduced stress

Increased strength, flexibility and endurance

Decreased lower back pain

Decreased nausea

Decreased carpal tunnel syndrome

Decreased headaches

Deepen meditation practice

Reduced risk of preterm labor

Prenatal yoga is one of the best ways to maintain physical and mental strength and comfort throughout pregnancy, soothing mama-to-be and baby from the outside in.
